Best car you've owned, until the HPFP goes out and you're on the hook for a $4500+ bill for something they know is a faulty design. To anyone keeping their car, get the 2Micron kits! Small price to pay to save a huge repair bill down the line. It's not if, it's when.
If you keep it, treat it to a 2MirconTech Pure Flow and Contain Flow kit to save yourself a $4000-6000 repair bill when (not if) the HPFP blows. No way id own one of these cars without those kits now. No way, no how.
I'd keep mine if I didn't already have a HPFP failure and hadn't seen others with 2-3 failures. And with VW's lack of addressing that issue in a satisfactory way... that's the only thing that has soured me on this car.
A deposit has been put down for my kits, so it's officially off the market. Best of luck to all of you who are looking for one. I sincerely hope you get a kit before the issue affects your car. Hopefully Andrew can make another run on them eventually. After I installed mine, my peace of mind...
Wish I had kept my 2006 TDI. I liked that Campanella white bumper covered in soot but I liked the DSG JSW better. :-\ Then again, I'm getting way more for it than I ever would have selling it used. So :-)

Similar experience but not exactly the same...

ooooof. That DOES suck.
So you either A) turn it in in operable and lose value of vehicle or B) pay most of the "restitution value" getting it fixed so you can get the vehicle value upon turn-in.
Glad I parked my crap and glad I haven't risked removing my HPFP kits yet. Those fockers...
Let's see how long it takes now to fix the portal so that we can edit and add the co-registered name (even though I uploaded proof of reg docs and title with both names and both dl's). Ugh
Andrew has stated he's not going to make anymore until after the buybacks when he'll know what the actual market demand is for them.
For what it's worth, I will be removing both kits from my car the weekend prior to my buyback appointment (whenever that ends up being). The kits have only...
